jThis Vinventionk relates to tire stripping machines particularly adapted Afor stripping solid rubber Vtires froIntheir carrying rims Y and'hasffor its primary lo'bjecttosubstantially improve and l'simplify over -machines y .machine base at one side of the chuck 18, 1s a standard `19 thatis oifset outwardly atV of this type previouslynsed and patented; Y Infthe attainment ofthis' end, provide Y highly novel VV'means wherebya'tire' carrying lrim may bereadily secured to themachine and adaptedvto be slowly VVrotated Y' together with-a rapid reciprocating strippingknife that is adapted tocut the tire from the rim in a saw-like manner, for thus accomplishing a uniform and smooth stripping ofthe Atire from the rim.

With the above af vunderstoodfthe same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts. 'hereinafter more fully described and shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed.v In the Vdrawing wherein `like referenceV characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1V is a front elevation of proved machine.

. Fig. 2 1s a top plan view thereof, `and my im- Fig. 8 1s an enlarged fragmentary sideelevation disclosing more clearly the mount for the stripping blade'V and its operating mechanism. v n y n Now having particular reference to the' c drawing, my novel machineconstlitutes the provision of va rectangular shaped base 5, formed upon the top side ofwhich and extending vertically-from the base in parallel spaced relation with the lrear edge thereof, is a plate-like standard 6, `the upper edge is formed with straight spaced alined bearings 7, 8 and 9, ournaled through which is a horizontal shaft 10 that is provided' be' Vtween the bearings 8 and 9 with a worm 11. One end ofthe shaft 1 0 is equipped withY a belt pulley 12 while theopposite end thereof is equipped with a crank arm-13, Fig.Y 3.

The'base 5 is further-formed forward of` VVthebearing plateV 6 and in spaced transverse relation with a pair of bearing supporting Vstandards 11i-:14v upon the upper yend of which is formed a relatively elongated transversely extending V'shaft bearing sleeve '15.' Journaled through thissleeve is a. shaft 16, that carries at its inner end a worm'gear L7 vthat is adapted for cooperation with the Worm11 of the shaft 10, Fig. 1. l.

Upon the forward endofthe `shaft 161s Vrd other objects in view` as .thenature of the invention will be better e l y Y K [through the mediumof a connecting link, 22,

a standard make'universal chuck 18f`for permittingofthe securing of various sizes tire-rims A to said'end of the shaft`16 inV i' concentric Vrelation therewith.

Longitudinally adjustably `secured toV the its upper endY andcarries a' reciprocating Y knife blade guide 20, thatmay be moved to- Ward or away from the. tire carrying-rim A31 carried bylthe'chuck for regulating thedepth of the cut 0f thers'olid' tire c upon the rim A, F1g.'1; Y

' .Rectilinearly slidable Vin the guide 20 Yin a ldirection parallel with the shaftV 16 is astrip-V Y ping blade V21 that is attached adjacent its e rear end to the crank arm 13 of the shaft 10 Figs. 2 and '3. In order that the vcrank 18 of said shaft may be adjusted in` a manner' consonantV withV the adjustmentv of the blade guide standard, said crankarm is formed l upon lts outer end with a sleeve 23 that is` Y `thatezrtends throughalined openings in the sleeveand a' slot 25 in lsaid shaft.

It will be readily noted that the gear 17 upon the inner end of the ,chuckV carryingr -shaft16 is much larger-than the gear 11 o' the shaft V10 for lobviously reducing .the rotation of the chuck with respect .to said shaft. Y Y

VDuring the slow movement of the chuck upon which is disposed the Ytire'carrying rim shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the blade 21 will be rapidly reciprocated for stripping the tire from the rim ina smooth andrapid manner. It will thus beV seen that I have provided ai highly novel, simple and eiiicient formrof Y tire stripping machine that is .well adapt- .ed for all ofthe purposes designated,

and even though I have herein shown and described' a particular embodiment of theY vi'nven-tio'm'it is nevertheless to bepunderstood that 'minor changes may Vbe made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the appendedV claims.

y Having thus described my invention, what kI claimV as new andV desireto secure by -Letyters Patent is 1. InY a tire stripping machine of vrthe`V l character described, a base, a horizontalV Y shaft journaled upon thebase, a second shaft also jo'urnaled upon the base'above-the first mentioned shaft and extending at right angles thereto, driving eonneetion's between the utwo shafts, a universel tire rim chuck upon the forward end of the last mentioned shaft, a rectilinearly movable stripping blade mounted upon the base in spaced relation with the periphery of said chuck, means interconnecting said `first mentioned shaft and said blade respeetively, whereby a rotation ofthe shaft will imparttthe rectilinearl movement to the blade, and means upon the first mentioned shaft and` bledeearrier respectively in order ,that said blade may be disposed in adjusted `osition (withgrespect to the chuck :and the rim mounted thereon.

2. `Ina tire `stripping `machine ofthe class deseribedyn base, a horizontal drive shaft mountedthereon, a driven shaft mounted on the base" and disposed `at right angles to the `drive shaft`r` a driving connection between said shafts, 1a wrifnsupportingg` ehufek on the outer` end ofthe driven shaft, a stripping support therefor adjustably mounted on the ,base adjacent the periphery' of the chuck, :a sleeve adjustably seeured -on the outer yend of the drive shaft4 and e conneetionbetween said sleeve vand `the `blade for effecting recproetoy V'm`o`vei1re`1t of the blade simultaneous with the rotation of the shafts. d

3. In la tire strippinginaehine, a base, a horizontal A,drive shaft mounted thereon, a driven shaft which is mounted on the base anddisposed at right angles to the drive shaft,

a worm and gear connection between the in- Y nel" end of the drive shaft and the intermediate portion of thedrive shawf'tda rim snif orting chuck carried Aon `the outer end` o' the drivenA shaft, ril/vertical standard adjustablyy secured on thebase edjiacent the periphery of the chuck,jen offset guide forme on the 'upper end Aof said standarda stri ping blade mener, Kommune.
